Hot Rods Nashville to L.A. in a 32 Roadster in winter.

Stumbled across this on the web. Some of you guys are crazy enough to do this.

Check it:



Neat little car too. Anyone know anything else about it? Pics?

 

Looks like fun

 

The roadster belongs to Bill Akin of Nashville. He built the car in the '70's.

 

I have a friend up here in the middle of VT that makes the run in his roadster. He dresses out in a snow mobile suit for a lot of the trip till he gets to warmer climates. He has a lot of stories usually................wonder why????

 

what a lucky guy agreat trip and some guy loans him an iconic hotrod Tom

 

Ron, That was absolutely awesome, Thanks

 

Nothing better than the drive... awesome.

 

My buddy used to do like VTWhead's buddy did/does during the winter. get the snowmobile suit on put the helmet with face shield that went with it on and jump in the roadster and go. He only drove about 80 miles from the house that way but said he was plenty comfortable.
Back in the 70's in Texas I met a kid who I think was a GI who was headed cross country in a T bucket in the middle of winter and didn't look to have that great of a coat or other clothes. Invited him to stay at the house that night and take off in the morning but he said he had a lot of miles to make. I figured he thought if he thawed out he would quit the trip.

 

Back up for the evening crowd.
